Yes, please verify content of /etc/apt/sources.list,
it should contain lines like

  deb http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian unstable main
  deb http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian unreleased main

After that do almost standard Debian recipe for upgrading,
i.e.

  apt-get update
  apt-get dist-upgrade
  apt-get install kfreebsd-image-7-amd64 (for kfreebsd-amd64)
  apt-get install kfreebsd-image-7-686   (for kfreebsd-i386)
  reboot

The kfreebsd-image-7-* above are packages depending on actual
kernel from 7.x series, currently available are
kfreebsd-image-7.1-1-amd64 for kfreebsd-amd64
and for kfreebsd-i386 some CPU variants:

kfreebsd-image-7.1-1-486
kfreebsd-image-7.1-1-686
kfreebsd-image-7.1-1-686-smp
